End Antibiotics Use in Animal Factories
 As antibiotics flood into animal factories, bacteria grow resistant, making the antibiotics less effective, in humans and farm animals alike.

Derail Fast Track
Fast-track authority limits the ability of Congress to amend trade deals negotiated by the president. When these pacts face little discussion and debate, the environment loses and large corporations gain. Tell your representative to vote "no" on fast track and to replace it with a "right-track" policy that preserves environmental, health and labor protections.
